LA Times blogger gets beaten at SDCC
And like any good blogger, Geoff Boucher blogs his own attack: "I (literally) bumped into a young guy walking with three friends in the Gaslamp Quarter. They were tattooed and wearing the street uniform of baggy pants, white T-shirts and shaved heads. The guy started mad-dogging me, rasping threats. I told him I was just walking by, no offense meant. He got in my face, and I told him it would be stupid for us to make something out of nothing. "You calling me stupid?" "No, I’m not." Then I stopped talking, because my mouth was bleeding. One of his buddies, standing off to my side, cold-cocked me, and the ring on his fist took a chunk out of my face. I never saw it coming. I was at the emergency room until dawn."
Get well soon, Geoff. We’re all thinking of you. (Link via Tom Spurgeon. Artwork by Carol Lay, who’s a lovely and charming lady.)
